Hello World with WPF!

After a lot of fight with myself am starting to dig deep into wpf, lets see how much attractive is it. Last night i downloaded the toolkit and some reporting examples. Lets see what it comes out to be.

Smart Client -- Is it a Dead Project?

I have been working hands on with Smart Client Software Factory since mid 2006, used to follow Matias, Glenn and few others. Its surely lil time-taking for someone who has not taken design patterns seriously.

Have loved working on it and eventually made a SAAS grade Enterprise Project, and there are still things happening there. I heard Unity coming and things getting change in factories. Have not been too keen in WPF as it would have been costly representation.

I feel disposing of objects is not the best in the factory, and i guess there has to be significant effort to accomplish the same. Just hope something comes new and improved.

Php consuming WCF Service

At last now I have Php client talking to WCF Service... Now this is something special, Technology should always be platform and language dependent.

I have a WCF Service consumed by ASP.net client RESTfully and the same service is talking to php client in a SOAP way.

Perhaps i am not an expert in wcf right now so am more thrilled ;) Just a stepping stone.

WCF-JSON with ASP.Net-Jquery Client

As i have already shared that i have been working on making a wcf service layer and that shall interact with open source UI layer... Has a milestone now, earlier we used to make a wrapper layer which used to act as intermediate layer cuz i dint wanted any change in actual HOST project and behaviors of the same.

Now we shall get rid of old JSON layer and our new RESTful host will start serving us.

Ideas and More Ideas!!!

I want to make a framework where i make wcf based REST services and consume it in various UI framework including php, jsp Etc, depending on the situations. I have already started the basic framework...

I feel that shall be the best use of REST... I need to start working harder now.

Comet, a new wave?!?!?!

Month back i was just brainstorming with myself to have a better and performant way to show messages and mails in an online environ... I absolutely love gmail and facebook idea to have a chatting scenario along with the application.

I heard about COMET and now am digging into it... Its scary to engulf the approach, but i wont be conclusive. Hope it works out for us.
